Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the most widely studied therapies in traditional medicine, with meaningful evidence supporting its use for pain, stress regulation, hormonal balance, and digestive concerns. In this practice, acupuncture isn’t offered as a standalone treatment — it’s integrated into a broader naturopathic plan, used where it can do specific therapeutic work alongside botanical, nutritional, and lifestyle interventions.
What’s Included
Sessions are calm, considered, and clinical. Treatment points are chosen based on your current concerns and overall treatment plan, not from a fixed protocol.
- Pre-Treatment Check-In — A brief review of how you're feeling, what's changed since the last session, and what we're targeting today.
- Personalized Point Selection — Acupuncture points selected based on your specific presentation, not a generic protocol.
- Single-Use, Sterile Needles — Disposable, individually-packaged needles, used once and discarded. Standard of care across the profession.
- Quiet Retention Time — Twenty to thirty minutes of needle retention in a warm, quiet treatment room. Most patients find this part deeply restful.
- Post-Treatment Notes — Documentation of points used, response, and any adjustments for next session.
Benefits
Acupuncture is most effective as part of a sustained plan rather than as a one-off intervention. Patients typically notice cumulative effects across a series of sessions.
